Animation and Timing
Animation is the illusion of motion created by the consecutive display of images of static elements. Even a simple animation can enhance a user interface design. Timers and storyboards allow you to control animations by synchronizing text, images, and steaming media in a defined time line.

Animation models provide a framework for defining timers, storyboards, and animation controls.
